Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1829 Yunxiao was killed by Daji, and Daji was very happy.

"Houtu" cannot connect to the River of Regret, and Deng Chanyu is busy, so naturally she cannot climb over the internet cable to beat people up.

Daji's attack speed is getting faster and faster. The Kuafu Staff seems to be random, but in fact, every move has been honed through countless trials and tribulations, containing the magnificent life of the great sorcerer Kuafu.

Daji also had many other tricks up her sleeve. From time to time, she would use the two magic talismans left to her by Deng Chanyu to create distance and fire two arrows at once.

She thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to beat Yunxiao, her fighting spirit soaring, her entire being radiating an emotion that could be described as joy. The gloom that had lingered deep within her heart was rapidly dissipating; the more intense the battle, the more the gloom vanished.

The cloud projection only possessed swordsmanship and some common spells, its means were extremely limited, and it gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Houtu" was originally a consciousness born from two drops of Jumang's blood essence. It was like a castle in the air; if the external force was slightly stronger, all its falsehoods would collapse with a push.

Now that the cloud projection can't connect to the main body, all the consumption is paid by "Houtu". Facing a fully armed and battle-ready Taiyi Golden Immortal, it's normal to fall into a disadvantageous position.

With a muffled thud, the Kuafu Staff struck the wrist of the cloud projection. The force was immense, nearly breaking the wrist. As the cloud projection healed its right hand and switched to its left to wield the sword, Daji took three steps back, drew her bow, and pulled the bowstring of the Sunset Bow almost to its limit. She used all her strength to fire this arrow, locking onto the target with her aura. With a roar, she released the bowstring, and the arrow, faster than a meteor, pierced the cloud projection's chest in an instant.

The cloud projection was pierced through the heart by an arrow, its white Taoist robe stained with blood, and its body fell headfirst from the clouds like a scallion.

Cool! So cool!
Daji forced a smile, trying to appear worried, but the joy in her eyes was barely concealed.

Even at this point, she was still using the True Dao Seed to emphasize her previous words: "Yunxiao comes from a prestigious family and is my close friend. He would never harm me."

The cloud projection was critically injured and on the verge of death, and could no longer resist the power of the true Dao Seed. Now that it has come to this, you can say it is real or not!

The projection turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared. Houtu gave a bitter laugh: "You must be heartbroken to have shot your 'best friend' to death with an arrow and watched your 'brothers and friends' turn to ashes."

Daji nodded shamelessly, then turned her face to the other side: "It's absolutely heartbreaking!"

The little blue phoenix beside her: "."

The adult world is terrifying. I'd rather continue playing with those idiots like the Flower-feathered Bird and the Swan.

"Houtu" exhausted her magic power and became like a stone statue, gray and lifeless.

Daji looked up twice, and after confirming that the thing could no longer be awakened, she led the little blue phoenix forward.

Having passed all the tests of the twelve ancestral witch pillars, they stepped into the main hall.

The intense vitality attracted their attention. Without having to search around, Jumang's essence blood was placed in the bronze cauldron in the center of the main hall. However, there was one last hurdle before the essence blood: Lady Pingxin.

Daji immediately bowed deeply and said, "Disciple greets teacher."

"No need for formalities. I am merely an illusion left here in the past, not the real me."

"I am deeply grateful to my teacher, and I dare not be negligent in my duty."

Much of what's said is superfluous, but the master-disciple relationship like that between Daji and Pingxin Niangniang is the norm. The relationship between Deng Chanyu and Nuwa is an anomaly. Fortunately, no one knows what Nuwa is like in private.
After exchanging pleasantries with his disciple, Lady Pingxin pointed behind her, and a phantom of Jumang, the Ancestral Witch of Wood, emerged from the shadows.

Jumang, with a bird's body and a human face, and a robust physique, walked slowly towards her. Daji felt a heavy weight on her heart, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on it. This was not a projection that had been playfully separated from Jumang's essence blood like those pillars before, but rather a past illusion that Lady Pingxin had pulled from the real Jumang.

The twelve Ancestral Witches were born in different orders. Dijiang was the eldest, and he was born from space. The Ancestral Witch born after him was Jumang, the Wood Ancestral Witch located in the east.

Birth order does not represent combat strength, but Jumang was the second to be born, and he had a little more Pangu essence blood in his body than his other brothers. Before being killed by the Chaos Bell, Jumang possessed combat strength comparable to a quasi-saint.

He was a whole realm stronger than the Thunder Ancestor Witch Qiangliang and the Wind Ancestor Witch Tianwu.

The Jumang before them was not the real Jumang, but Lady Pingxin was very skilled, and the power she projected was comparable to that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, a Great Luo Golden Immortal with top-level wood-type divine abilities.

Empress Pingxin succinctly stated: "His projection can last for half an hour. Defeat him within half an hour, and your essence blood will be yours."

He left behind a single sentence, and the illusion of the saint vanished.

The next instant, Jumang, with his bird-like body and human face, flapped his wings and, accompanied by a sharp sound of wind and thunder, rushed towards Daji, his bird claws aimed at her face.

Daji had only heard of the legends surrounding this second-in-command of the Ancestral Witches; this was the first time she had actually fought him.

If the enemy situation is unclear, charging forward with a bow and arrow is the worst possible strategy.

With a flick of her wrist, a talisman made by Deng Chanyu burst into flames.

A whirlwind swept through the invisible world, and the rushing Jumang was swept into a spatial turbulence. The second leader of the Ancestral Witches was stunned for a moment, then immediately transformed into a streak of azure light and quickly traversed through the surging spatial turbulence. The air currents in the space struck his feathers, producing a crisp sound like metal.

This Jumang was brought from the original body across time and space. He was not lacking in wisdom, experience, and magic. The talisman was not controlled by Deng Chanyu. The operation of the spatial power was very rigid. Jumang quickly found the flaw at the junction of the spaces and rushed out in an instant without the slightest hesitation.

He was met with a sharp arrow carrying a deadly intent.

Jumang saw the power of the Sunset Arrow and dared not take it head-on. He rolled to the other side in a rather disheveled manner, trying to avoid the arrow.

His evasive position had already been calculated by Daji. In the instant he rolled, another arrow was shot out. Jumang, who was in mid-air, was not flustered at all. His whole body was covered with green energy, like tree bark. There was an additional thick green shield on his original feathers. His wings protected him in front of him, and he took the arrow head-on with his strong defense.

Jumang's defensive power was among the best of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. The reason he perished was that he did not expect Taiyi to self-destruct the Chaos Bell. How could such a treasure self-destruct? Did he not want to live his life anymore?

Normally, he and Taiyi could fight for three days and three nights without any problem.

At that moment, a crisp "crack" was heard. The Sunset Arrow pierced through the wings, the tree bark protection, and even the bird feathers on Jumang's body. However, after penetrating three inches into the flesh, it exhausted its power and was easily pulled out by this Wood Ancestral Witch.

"Good archery skills."

"You flatter me, Ancestral Witch."

Daji stood on the back of the Azure Phoenix, searching for Jumang's weakness while flying at high speed.
